I have not seen any commercials with an iPad promotion. Like Ross, we are discussing cutting the cord. Many nights, we find ourselves watching junk that we pay for on Dish rather than junk that we can get for free off the antenna. I am not blaming Dish. The channels they offer have not changed, but the content has. TV Land used to show old shows. Now it seems to be original content. History used to have history, not Ice Road Truckers, Pawn Stars, and Swamp Men. I would like a news/sports package for $10 a month - CNN, HLN, Fox News, Weather Channel, and ESPN. Of course, those are probably the most expensive channels... But even if I saw the commercial, we probably are not eligible for the iPad - unless we threaten to leave. A few months ago, my wife called about getting high def. It is free for life for new customers. For 8-year customers, it is $10 per month. A coworker called about the same time to get a DVR. She has been a customer for about 10 years. They gave her an outrageous price. Yesterday, she called to cancel and told them she was switching to DirectTV. By the time she got off the phone, she had been promised a DVR and high def channels with no increase in her monthly bill. It is sad that you need to threaten to leave before you can get any new promotions. At least the cell phone companies let you get the new phones every two years. An iPad2 may be enough to get me to sign a new 2-year contract.
. I don't know why people that like Android try to put down iDevices. To each their own, iPad can't be all that bad if it's still the most popular tablet...
